  • Hurricane water hack.

    We've run out of bottled water here in FL and it's quite the panic.
    Back in the day our old school hack was to just fill pitchers, pots,
    pans, and any plastic container that we could find.

    Use the covered clear ones for drinking water and the
    uncovered ones for bathing and flushing toilets.
    Also fill the bath tub.

    Stay safe any FL peeps.

    Stay safe if you don't evacuate.

      Water is in short supply here on West Coast of Florida also. Gas is very hard to find. If a station has gas, it also has huge lines tying up traffic.

            We have police officers at all the gas stations now. It's crazy.

              Thanks.
              I have an exchange for next week at the beach. I hope the resort survives the hurricane and I can go there cause if we lose power it will be weeks until we get it back. 😳

                I gave up on water.
                Just filling all my plastic containers.
                I did get a lot of fancy fizzy water so all I need is a little rum and I am set. Lol

                We have a pool on my floor so I can just use that water for the toilets if I have to.
                More than likely we will lose water pressure in the building.
                This is going to suck big time.

                  Thanks.
                  I am going to ride it out.
                  I do live across the bay but on the 3rd floor so hopefully we will be okay.

                  I do have to move my car from the underground garage so it will be a total loss.

                    I have a few RCI points if you need a place to go for the week it would be safer than staying there

                      I don't know about that.
                      Doesn't seem to be anyplace that's safe.

                      Thanks for the offer.
                      I'm sticking it out.
                      Might regret it but I don't want to leave my cats.

                        Fill the bathtub (but don't use it to take a bath).

                          If you run out of water you can get some out of your hot water tank. There is a valve at the bottom to let water out. Make sure to turn the power off first. If you have some Iodine you can clean your other water up. If its clear 5 drops per quart and if its cloudy 10 drops per quart.

                            One tip I heard was your dishwasher will keep water in or if closed will keep water out so it is a good place to store valuables/pictures,documents to keep them safe and undamaged.
                            Good luck to all and stay safe.
